Trypsin induces an aversive response in zebrafish by PAR2 activation in keratinocytes.

Previously we have shown that trypsin, a protein typically involved in digestion, is released from gills of both fresh and saltwater fishes into surrounding water under stress or injury. We have also shown that each species produces trypsin with different specific activities. In this report, using z...
